Hi Tobias,

It does not really matter, but -o(ALL-LANG_*)+LANG_EN is easier to
understand. It means all slices minus the ones relative to linguas
plus LANG_EN. Even not technical people will find this simple :o)
Moreover, you can replace ``index'' by ``%BASE'' as explained in wml(1).

But it is only available on the shebang line, so i see no solution
to your problem (except with a makefile).

One could write -o(ALL-LANG_*)+LANG_IT:%BASE.it.html in the .wmlrc
files, this feature will go in my to-do list. And i should mention the
%BASE trick in wml::std::lang(3), i presume.

Cheers

   Denis
